The question mark is because in a way it is my fault. Not being able to write. I hoped to start again right after Labor Day but circumstances wouldn’t let me. I created the circumstance but had no idea that after L.D. this would happen. I was living in a dream world, I guess.

I do want to go back to the novel I started last spring. I have no idea when I can. There might come a time when I can do a little here and there but that isn’t the best way for me to write a novel. Probably isn’t best for anyone.

I’m not the kind of person who can write on the subway or in a diner so running in here and doing a paragraph or so doesn’t appeal to me. On the other hand, over the summer I realized some mistakes I’d made and although I don’t normally go back over pages until I’ve finished the whole novel, these are not normal times. It certainly would be a new way for me. But all of this is new. No set hours, etc.

When I can I think I’ll give that a try. Maybe it’ll work. I’ll let you know.
